I think rice is inflammatory. Don't know why mainstream medicine is always recommending carbs…
Yep: http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/cereal-grains-and-pasta/5710/2
Medicine is so goddamn dumb about diet. Brown rice is less inflammatory than white rice, so they prescribe that, but it's still inflammatory. That's like prescribing light cigarettes to a smoker with lung cancer.
The official diabetic diet in the US is heavy on grains too. Treating a disease with what causes the disease, carbs that promote instability in blood sugar. It's like they're trying to worsen the condition.

All I know is since I started a paleo diet my blood sugar is 80 and my blood pressure is 118 over 75 with a resting pulse of 60. Before Paleo my blood pressure was 170 over 90.

Amazing D.
I've lost a couple of pounds with no lifestyle changes other than completely nixing wheat in all forms.

Paleo for me is a very simple life change not a diet. I have no desire to eat anything other than the foods I have become accustomed to. I have tons of energy and feel great. For me it's a no brainer, the weight loss is just an added bonus.

Couldn't agree more. I have a few rules of thumb:
-
if I can't understand the food chain that put a food in front of me, don't eat it. I don't know what a cheetoh is or where it came from, but I know what a tomato is and basically where it came from (especially if it's from my CSA).
-
no grains. This doesn't include quinoa
-
lots of lean (and where possible grass fed) protein, lots of vegetables, and a little fruit, particularly berries. Nuts…. Avoid omega-6 rich oils.
These rules of thumb afford me a very broad range of foods that I think are healthful. This means it's a feasible lifestyle change. Veganism for me would not be feasible, it would be too constrained for me to maintain it.

right there with you my brother…though I have to say that I'm not 100% paleo anymore (as you all can see in the beer thread!)...food-wise I'm trying the best I can to still be paleo to at least 90-100% and imo I do pretty good and run pretty good with it! lost about 22lbs. since changing my habbits/life a few months ago and I really do feel great...not missing a thing (though I've had a few paleo unfriendly things, I'm super happy to say that the "want" factor isn't there anymore and I totally can live without that stuff without having the feeling that I'm missing something...which I think is more than great!).
losing weight is just one of the positive side effects when going paleo...

Taking my 634's back to their birthplace today. I really don't know yet if I'll have the time to visit The Works in Hachioji since I'm only staying in Tokyo for 2+3 nights and there's so much I haven't seen there yet but I'll see what I can do. Gonna travel around Honshu and Kyushu (and hopefully Shikoku as well) for two weeks. Soooooooo excited!
